IRONING-STAN D.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 272,906, dated February27, 1883.

Application filed December 30, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concr:

Be it known that I, NICHOLAS SoHoLL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chillicothe,in the County of Ross and State of Ohio,haveinvented a new'and useful Ironing-Stand,

u ot which the following is a specification, refere or storage,

ence being had to the accompanying drawings. This invention relates toironing-tables; and it consists in certain improvements in theconstruction of the same,which will be hereinafter fully described, andparticularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings hereto annexed, Figure 1 is a perspective View of 'myimproved ironingboard extended and ready for operation. Fig. 2 is apersp'ective View, showing the board detached and the frame folded fortransportation Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical sectional View of thetable eXtended tor operation, and Fig. 4 is a rear view.

The same letters refer to the same parts in all the figures.

A in the drawings refers to an upright mounted upon a cross-piece, B,which forms the support of the device. To the front side of saidupright, near its upper end, is hiuged a bar, O, having at its outer enda cross-piece, D, adapted to rest upon the floor and form the othersupport' of the device.

E is a block having a band, F, encircling the bar C, upon which the saidblock may slide. To secure it in any position to which itmay beadjusted, the said block is provided with a vertical perforation, G, inwhich moves a pin, H, adapted to enter any one of a series ofperforations, I I, in the bar G. The pin or plug H is forced downwardlyby means of a suitably-arranged spring, J, which, as in the drawings,may consist of an ordinary rubber strap passed through a transverseperforation near the head of the pin H, and having its ends secured tothe sides of the block E. By this spring the accidental withdrawal ofthe pin H is prevented.

To the upper end of the upright A is hin ged a frame, K, consistin g,essentially, of side pieces, L L, which may be connected and spaced byone or more cross-pieces, M. The frame K may be hinged in position bymeans ot" a bolt, N, passing transversely through its side pieces, asshown.

O O are, segmental brackets, hinged to the sides of frame K by anothertransverse bolt, P, and said brackets are provided with notches Q Q,adapted to engage hooks R upon the sides ot' the upright A, andtherebysustain the frame K in any position to which it may be adjusted.

S is the ironing-board, which is provided on its under side with atransverse cleat, T, having recesses U U, to receive the front ends ofthe side pieces, L, of the frame K. At its rear end the board S isprovided with a downwa'dly-projecting bolt, V, having a swiveled clamp,W, adapted to be adjusted under the side pieces of the frame K, andtightened up against the latter byiva thumb-nut, X, thereby serving tohold the board S s'ecurely in position upon the frame. The board S isprovided `on its upper side with a staple, Y, adapted to receive thelower end ot' a sleeve-board, Z, which latter is also provided with legsA A adapted to enter sockets B in the face of board S, and therebysustain the sleeve-board in an inclined position, as shown in thedrawings. Upon the under side of board S, near its edge, is a series ofstaples, 0 0 through which the cord D, by which the cloth -E is Securedupon the board, is threaded. In this manner the cloth may be moreConveniently and durably attached than by crossing the cord under theboard, as is now com monly done.

The sliding block E of the main frame has a transverse perforatiou, F,in which is pivoted a bail, G the ends of the arms of which are bent orhooked and hinged in staples H upon the rear side of the standard orupright A.

The operation of thisinvention willbe readil y understood from theforegoing description, taken in connection with the drawings heretoannexed. i

The height of the table may be regulated by properly adjusting theupright A and bar O in relaticn to each othe r,which may be done bymeans of the sliding block E.

When the device has been adjusted to the proper height, the ironingboardand its supporting-frame may be adjusted to a horizontal position andretained in the same by means of the segmental brackets O, engaging thehooks lt.

The s1eeve-board,when not in actual use, may be easily detached from themain ironing-board;

IOO

but when it is to he used it is placed in the position' shown, andbrought to a horizontal po sitiou by lower-ing the front end of the mainironing-board S.

'When the device is not in use, the board S may be detaehed from thesupporting-frame, and the latter folded, as shown in Fig. 2, for storageor transportation.

I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent of theUnited States- 1. In an adjustable ironing-stand, the combination of theupright or standard, the bar or hrace hin ged to the same, and providedWith a series of perforations, the block sliding upon said hinged bar,and having a pin forced downwardly by a spring so as to engage saidperforations, and a bail pivoted in a transverse perforation in saidsliding block, and having the ends of its arms hinged to the upright orstandard, substantially as set forth.

2. In an adj nstabie ironing-stand, the hereindescribed frame,eonsisting of an upright, a hinged brace, a block siiding upon saidbrace,

and connected with the standard by a pivoted bail, a nd afrane hinged tothe npper end of the standard, and having hinged segmental bracketsprovided with notches en gagin g books upon the sides of the standard,in combination With a detachable ironing-board snbstantially as setforth.

3. The combinatiomwith the berem-described stand having hinged frame K,ot' the ironingboard S, having transverse cleat T, provided withreeesses U U, and the bolt V, having: swiveied olamp W and thumb nut X,as set forth. i

In testimony that claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed mysignature in presence ot' two witnesses.
